Lamia - Proportion updates and detail work

I have messed with the proportions on this so much now but I'm finally happy with how it looks (I think), getting a transition point that looks correct between the two body types has really been a pain. 

In the initial block-out the human torso was way too high and anatomically it kinda went from the big cat spine > big cat neck > human spine which left the human half sort of in the place of the big cats head.... so I cut it off and dropped it down. With that version the human hips were pretty much the top of the shoulders, making the neck musculature essentially the obliques and lower abdomen but it terrible and looked super awkward. 

Which brings us to the current version. This is more of a middle ground with the human torso sitting a little higher, as far as anatomy goes the human pelvis roughly sits in with the big cats clavicle and takes the place of the neck. The bone and muscle structure makes more sense in my head this way (with one continual spine) and I think it's a good improvement overall.

Apart from all that I've started blocking in ideas for detail elements, I'm leaning far more towards the side of wearing personal adornments rather than just collecting all the pretty things but remaining naked... again it makes more sense to me and will make a much more interesting mini in the end.

I'll get the next big reward vote up in a day or so as well, chuck any ideas in if you havent already!

Beautiful

Dodgy anatomy is the first thing I notice looking at other minis, it makes a huge difference to the overall feel of the design when your brain isn't screaming that something is wrong :P

Abs and biceps are 10/10. It's also really interesting hearing about the challenges of creating beleivable anatomy.
